When I first saw this recipe, I figured I wouldn’t like it. This was about 3 years ago… and I’ve made it several times since, so apparently I was wrong! I assumed I wouldn’t like it because (1) I do not usually like cinnamon in savory dishes, (2) I never put this much honey/sugar in [...]
It’s snowing today in Chicagoland. Ah yes, everyone is cranky and has spring-fever. I know, it’ll get here, but not soon enough! Personally I’m looking forward to taking walks with the new baby, and getting outdoors. My son loves to go to parks, and we have a multitude of them around the area. I have [...]
I haven’t just wanted a burger throughout this pregnancy, I’ve needed a burger. I’ve tried my best to try to make healthy versions of them, however, and not to just run to my local fast food locale. This recipe has been a great go-to recipe of mine for years. Even my 3 1/2 year old [...]
My child ate spinach! Yep, sautéed spinach. As he tasted it, and I made a Popeye reference, and he said “Yum!”… I almost dropped everything and exclaimed that I have officially succeeded as a parent! If your child is anything like mine, they could live on noodles, cookies, and gummies. But, we try and try [...]
Well I’ve renewed the ol’ multitasking-mom domain for another year. Sometimes I feel like I’m not sure if anyone’s reading my gibberish, but then one of you comment and it makes it worthwhile. So, keep those comments coming! I must admit, after 32 weeks of this pregnancy, I’m about ready to hop back on Weight [...]
Well, I’m back to normal, if you could call this normal. I’m a bit of a complaining mess these days, being 8 months pregnant and all. We ended up in the hospital in Labor & Delivery the other day for about 7 hours or so. Luckily, my contractions stopped and the baby is still all [...]
I know, I know… I posted a Lo Mein recipe last week. However, this week I have yet to go to the grocery store (this will be my task at lunch today) and I had everything in the house for this great, tried ‘n true recipe. Since the “Blizzard of 2011″, I’ve had a horrible [...]
Although I sort of blogged this last year, I wanted to repost with some more detail and pictures. We did this little cookout-of-sorts again this year… as we do every year… for the Superbowl. Basically, you cook the little hotdogs and little sausages over a flame that is held by a cabbage. Go ahead, ask [...]
Happy Snowpocolypse! Or… Snow my gosh! Or… well I’ve run out of snow jokes… but apparently today is the start of quite the snow storm. Personally, I’ll believe it when I see it. I often think they prepare us for the worst and it ends up not that bad, but I could eat my words [...]
